What. A. Race
First off we would love to thank all the fans in attendance this past weekend at Flamboro Speedway. It was incredible to see all the fans back and for us to return to somewhat normal was a great sight to see. Night #2 was sponsored by Kenny Painting and we had 15 Young Drivers Canadian Vintage Modifieds signed in for the night. After a two week break from our first race on June 19th the drivers were ready to heat up the night.
Our first feature of the night saw the #19 of John Karley and the #8 of Ricky Willigar starting on the front row with Joe Arsenault and his #17 starting third and the #03 Jake Gilbert starting fourth. On the drop of the Green flag they drove hard down into turn 1. Down the backstretch John Karley pulled out to an early lead but Willigar was staying close to his outside. As the battle to get to the bottom and get single filed was heating up John kept creeping his lead to a four car length lead over second for most of the race but restarts were the name of the game as we had a few cautions throughout the first 25 lap feature of the day. After Rodney Rutherford went around in turn two. On the restart Joe Arsenault fell back and was battling with the #03 and it appears contact was made between the #17 and the #03 with the #17 being on the losing end as Arsenault went around coming out of two and came to a stop without collecting more cars in the process. After a late race restart the #5 of Mike Podd was able to get around the #19 of John Karley and hold him off to win feature #1 of the night. Following the race the #19 of John Karley was DQ'ed and would be scored 12th.

Both of those driver would be taken off the track for the night.
